Instructions for Installing our Hand Painted Wood Signs
Your sign is pre-drilled and is packaged complete with the following items taped to the back of the sign:
Quantity 2 - #8 x 2-1/2 inch Phillips head deck screws; Quantity 2 – 3/8 inch wood buttons.
Tools required for installation: Phillips head screwdriver. Cordless drill with Phillips head bit recommended.
Where it will greet visitors, can be seen from the street (if possible), where it will announce the history of your house! But, keep in mind that you do not want to have people confuse the sign date for your house number address. I’ve had that happen!
Determine the position / placement of the sign on the house siding. Keep the sign in position with one hand (or a helper’s hands). Insert a screw into the left side hole and sink the screw partially into the surface till the screw begins to take hold. Next, insert a screw in the right side hole and sink the screw partially until it begins to take hold. Return to the left screw and continue to tighten but not completely. Repeat switching from left to right screws until both are tightened and submerged below the surface to a depth of about ¼-inch as to allow the wood button to seat completely in the hole.
Plug each screw hole with a painted wood button. For best results, apply some wood glue to the bottom of the button and insert in hole. This will reduce the chance of moisture getting inside the screw hole. Apply hand pressure only on the button to completely seat the button, do not use a hammer which may crack the paint surface on the button and/or the sign surface itself.
